Maison d'édition: NOVELSEA

Synopsis

Description：
When she catches her fiancé Tristan cheating with her best friend Charlie—while three months pregnant—she doesn't cry or scream. Instead, she walks away calmly, hiding a decades-long grudge that's about to ignite. What seems like acceptance is actually the start of a twisted revenge plan targeting the "perfect" people who've haunted her life.
As she lures the charming James into her orbit and uncovers shocking family ties, every step pulls Tristan, Charlie, and even her own mother into a web of lies, betrayal, and irreversible consequences. This dark, suspenseful tale peels back the layers of envy, parental pressure, and the cost of letting resentment fester.
It's a gripping reminder: when we let others define our worth, everyone loses. Dive into a story where revenge burns bright, but redemption is nowhere in sight.

Death on the Railway Second Edition

Manuel Rose

A horrific thrill ride you won't be able to put down, until the unbelievably shocking ending! Death on the Railway is a supernatural crime thriller with an element of romance. This thriller is set in the highly stressed, fast-paced world we live in today and will appeal to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers. 
When the parents of 21-year-old Angelo Russo are tragically killed in a car accident, he is left in the care of his older sister, Carina Russo, who seduces him. Both Angelo and Carina fall deeply in love with one another, but Carina fears that her professional modeling career will be in jeopardy should the salacious secrets of her life be exposed. After she has a fight with Angelo, she disappears into the night, never to be seen alive again. 
Once Angelo gets hired to be a conductor for Morton City Railway, he discovers that his beloved sister has become a murder victim of the city's psycho serial killer, the "Railway Butcher." Angelo is incessantly haunted by his sister's ghost as more of his colleagues and friends become victims of the "butcher." 
Angelo's crusade to find justice for Carina and his friends quickly turns into one needing to prove his own innocence, when he becomes the prime suspect during the police investigations. When a new love, named Carlita Gomez, also enters his life, Angelo accepts that he needs to let go of his romantic love for Carina in order to find true happiness; but Carina isn't ready to let go, and he must now fight for his life and to protect the woman that he loves. 
This new version will be more reader-friendly and less offensive. However, since "Death on the Railway" is primarily a horror story, this book is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. This new version still contains graphic horror, gore, violence and mature subject matters. 
Author, Manuel Rose, injects his many years of railroad experience and knowledge into this novel in order to help make this terrifying tale believable.

The Christmas Holiday

Mikayla Davids

It was supposed to be the perfect Christmas. I had no idea it would end in murder . . . It's my first Christmas with my new husband and we're spending it with his wealthy family in their remote, luxurious lodge in the Irish mountains. I feel completely out of my depth; their perfect world is so different to my life before I met Jack. But I've got to make this marriage work. And I'll do whatever it takes. 
 
 
 
With the festivities in full swing, I quickly discover that behind their flawless image the Silver family are hiding plenty of secrets. Jack's glamorous step-mother Dawn welcomes me with open arms.

My dream family holiday is turning into a nightmare. 
 
 
 
Just when I think it can't get any worse, my sister-in-law Yasmin looks at me through narrowed eyes and accuses me of something terrible. I stare across the room at the man I married, hoping he will defend me, but Jack doesn't say a word. Something is very wrong. With the snow falling hard, I'm trapped in the lodge with a group of people I can't trust—and no way out. I start to wish that I'd never stepped foot in this place. And then one of our party goes missing . . . Did I make a mistake in coming here? And will it cost me my life?
